“Humor in the Workplace” Blog Carnival – 2nd Edition

Hap-py New Year and welcome to the second edition of the “Humor in the Workplace” Blog Carnival! Better late than never, right?

To satisfy your insatiable need for humorous anectdotes, I’ve opened the floodgates and scoured the web. As result, not everyone is technically aware that they’re participating in this edition but as soon as they find out, I’m certain that they’ll be flattered, overjoyed and innundating me with posts for future editions.
